Once Again, Gym Jordan Is An Embarrassment

Turning his head while his fellow wrestling staff sexually abused kids was bad enough.

Now the head conspiracy loon has attempted to present paid actors as 'whistleblowers' in a closed door hearing about FBI abuses.

Democrats released a 300+ page report detailing how ludicrous the hearings have been, ahead of planned leaks by Republicans.

[FONT=&quot]WASHINGTON — House Republicans have spent months promising to use their majority to uncover an insidious bias against conservatives on the part of the federal government, vowing to produce a roster of brave whistleblowers who would come forward to provide damning evidence of abuses aimed at the right.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But the first three witnesses to testify privately before the new Republican-led House committee investigating the “weaponization” of the federal government have offered little firsthand knowledge of any wrongdoing or violation of the law, according to Democrats on the panel who have listened to their accounts. Instead, the trio appears to be a group of aggrieved former FBI officials who have trafficked in right-wing conspiracy theories, including about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, and received financial support from a top ally of former President Donald Trump.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The roster of witnesses, whose interviews and statements are detailed in a 316-page report compiled by Democrats that was obtained by The New York Times, suggests that Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the chair of the panel, has relied on people who do not meet the definition of a whistleblower and who have engaged in partisan conduct that calls into question their credibility. And it raises questions about whether Republicans, who have said that investigating the Biden administration is a top goal, will be able to deliver on their ambitious plans to uncover misdeeds at the highest levels.[/FONT]

In one way...Jim Jordan and the GOP ARE an embarrassment to our nation.

On a wider plane, though, Jim Jordan and the GOP are an embarrassment to humanity.

The latter trumps the former.

It would be fitting that Jordan was convicted of perjury. Not exactly his first dance with the truth.

Sadly, getting elected is the only concern today. If something happens to get done while they are in office, it's by accident.

We now know that there is a reason these hearings are not conducted in public.

[FONT=&quot]The results have left Democrats gleeful and even some Republicans deeply unimpressed. A “dumpster fire,” is how one Democrat with knowledge of the at-times combative interactions terms the proceedings.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“Clearly there is room to grow and improve before [more] public hearings,” a Republican familiar with the process tells [/FONT]Rolling Stone[FONT=&quot]. But the work so far, the Republican says, has been “very much amateur hour,” adding that airing this “stuff on live television would make us look like morons.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]” (Sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about the sensitive matters.)[/FONT]
